are you fishing for more informations? Gogol is also 19th century and the Mother I don't know...and btw my last reply was full of hints (not only the prototype)

One must presume that long and short arguments contribute to the same end. - Epicurus...except casandra's that belong to the funniest, most interesting and imaginative (or over-imaginative?) ones, I suppose.

my bad...I meant Gorky not Gogol...is it from any of Gorky's stories?

no and read carefully my post before the last and you know it...and the story contains a lot of topics that are very up to date again (transparency, privacy protection or the missing of this) and this should be enough

ok..how about Zamyatin's We? With biblical allusions and stuff... Never read it but it took some time to find it out....

yes finally ...it's such an important novel and e.g 1984 is unthinkable without this work as it's one of the first dystopian novels. And it has many topics that are still or again very important such as people that have to fit their life to maximum industrial efficiency, total transparency of the citizens without any privacy (transparent buildings, total control), which is reflected in the view in the girl's eye (he thinks first that she's not an individual but an empty number), Anyway this meeting leads to a forbidden relationship and later to a rebellion that destroys the system).

omg...but the most important clue- dystopia, you omitted...and actually, you were very misleading with your clues......so shld we say bye to this thread already?

then you'd have solved it after five minutes and all my hints were correct and this time I used your clue-regime anyway we can stop then as with two people it's kind of useless...and I guess we had many of the authors all people know and read and several others which are not that everywhere known

I don’t care if it’s a sad good-bye or a bad good-bye, but when I leave a place I like to know I’m leaving it. If you don’t you feel even worse. (Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, an author we forgot )
